Wragh! DRAMALICIOUSNESS in the unit today. *flails* We have seriously done the biggest mountain of chemo ever, including the outreach ones that we'd usually make the night before (but couldn't because it was a bank holiday and no-one was here to make). And guess what, they've made EVERYTHING ELSE late. And to cap it all the ward have brought down 4 extra chemos (IN ADDITION to the giant one we still have to finish off from weds) , and wonder why I went BRUAGH at them.

BRUAGH *flail*

In better news, ch14 will be up sometime later, when I FINALLY get a break and time to have some nommings.

Ok, seriously. The workload in this place today has reached unsafe levels of stupid. I don't often get stressed at work - I usually take things as they come and just work through it, but I've just been given the SIXTH chart for the ward (that's after 7 outreach chemos, about 25 in the day unit and a couple of random urology ones) so we've made about 50 individual pieces of chemo, and I am seriously at my break point. Anything else and... Well, I don't know what I'm going to do. Cry, probably.

Plus, I had to eat lunch on the run and I have killer indigestion. *buuurgh*

My New Year's Resolution is to say "no" more often. *huffs* Because seriously? I'm a fucking pushover, most of the time, and days like today STRESS ME OUT.

I have just took my last chemo of the day upstairs to the ward. JUST took it. Normally, on a friday, we do about 40 or 50 methotrexate syringes for rheumatology, AND thoroughly clean the room as well. NO frigging chance, today. Lucky we did the mtx the other day, and the room is just going to have to stay dirty.

Ch14 will be along... sometime later. Pfft. Whenever. My enthusiasm has been lorsted.

Happy New Year, bah humbug! >:(

Just so people know, I'm okay now. :) I've had tea and chocolate and finished my fish-bollocks stew, so all is good again.

I loooove a good cup of proper chai, but I can never be bothered to spend the time MAKING it (and I never have all the right spices anyway). :(

Otherwise, if it's tea flavoured and strong, I'll drink it. ;) My current favourite is Whittards' "Russian Caravan" blend (but I like their Assam and Ceylon, also), although I need to go bulk buy it today just in case they go bust all the way. :( The only one I'm not fond of is lapsang souchong, that's a little too smokey for my likes. And of course I like "silver tippy golden flowery broken orange pekoe" purely because it has such a long, stupid name. ;)

I love that name. You probably get better quality tea in Britian than we do here in Canada. Mostly we get the bagged stuff like Lipton, Red Rose, whatever. To get loose tea, which I prefer, you have yo go to specialty tea stores.

Oh, don't get me wrong, most of the time I just drink whatever was on offer at the supermarket - "PG Tips" teabags, or "Co-op Red Label", or "Whatever they swept up off the floor this week". You still (mostly) have to go to speacialist shops to get anything other than Twinings blends. I just happen to like going to Whittards (http://www.whittard.co.uk/) :) (which was JUST saved from going into administration this month - bah credit crunch! >:( )

I heard about Whittards. A lot of people over on my Dark Fort RPG are Brits so I've been hearing about Whittards all through the holidays. :)

BTW I did this New Year's resolution meme http://thesurrealist.co.uk/newyear and apparently I need to stop gardening with you. And give up books (never!!!) and find a new WW2 (WW3?). XD

Hmm, I've got to volunteer to spend time with aliens (don't I already do that? HAR HAR) and become a better CSI. Shouldn't they be Skywarp's resolutions?
